Witless Ape Rides Helicopter
National Review ^ | January 20, 2021 | KEVIN D. WILLIAMSON

Memo to MAGA and all its myriad fellow-travelers: Maybe Death of a Salesman as presented by Leni Riefenstahl just wasn’t the show Americans were dying to tune into this season.

And, while we’re at it, maybe turning your party over to Generalissimo Walter Mitty, his hideous scheming spawn, and the studio audience from Hee-Haw was not just absolutely aces as a political strategy.

Think on it, Cletus. I know this whole thing still sounds like your idea of a good time — how’s that working out for you?

Let me refresh your memory: On the day Donald Trump was sworn in as president, Republicans controlled not only the White House but both houses of Congress. They were in a historically strong position elsewhere as well, controlling both legislative chambers in 32 states. They pissed that away like they were midnight drunks karaoke-warbling that old Chumbawumba song: In 2021, they control approximately squat. The House is run by Nancy Pelosi.

-snip

Donald Trump is, in fact, the first president since Herbert Hoover to lead his party to losing the presidency, the House, and the Senate all in a single term. Along with being the first president to be impeached twice and the first game-show host elected to the office, that’s Trump’s claim to the history books. Well, that and 400,000 dead Americans and the failed coup d’état business.

As for the ratings Trump fears and worships, ask the Third Lady: Melania Trump departs the scene the most unpopular presidential wife in recorded statistical history.

You Trumpish Republicans sneered that Joe Biden was too corrupt and too senescent to win a presidential campaign, that he was one part mafioso and one part turnip.

That turnip kicked your dumb asses from Delaware to D.C.

So you rioted. Real smart move, Cletus.

Boy, Kevin is pretty butthurt, eh? Kicking Melania was especially distasteful.

Trump is gone and he’s still having a floor kicking tantrum. hahahaha!

I thought this was about a journalist at the inauguration.

National Review’s Kevin D. Williamson was fired from THE ATLANTIC for being an idiot.

That’s a pretty low bar.

You couldn;t show me anything in the Huffington Post as filled with hatred of President Trump as this National Review article is.

No, President Trump won the presidency. It was stolen by the Uniparty. Regardless of the lies and propaganda, President Trump will forever be The Last Legitimate President of the United States.

STFU Cletus

President Trump didn’t lose - the Democrats cheated
The Republicans didn’t lose the Senate - the Democrats cheated
Trump supporters didn’t riot - that was a lie -

And you are either too dumb to see through it, or too evil to care.

Pay attention! Now that the sheat machine has taken the Oval orifice, that same cheat machine will strengthen the numbers in senate and house. Criminal behavior only increases when criminal behavior is exposed but not prosecuted.

The Surprising Thing About Biden’s Inauguration

The colorful and joyful ceremony didn’t feel like a crisis-era bureaucratic procedure.

You might assume that a guy who could write reasonably well would be savvy enough to conceal a diseased mind, but obviously it just ain’t so.

The thing about a diseased mind - it's main distinguishing feature - is it's diseased.

A diseased mind thinks it's perfectly normal, and it's everyone else who has a problem...

It's amazing that anyone so out of touch with reality can get a paycheck for this kind of ponyplop.

Maybe he's auditioning for a spot at The Atlantic again...

That turnip kicked your dumb asses from Delaware to D.C.

With a little help from a corrupt media and a corrupt political establishment. But we’re not supposed to talk about that, right, Kev? You bloated, elitist turd. Go take a cruise with Bill Kristol and the rest of the faux Republicans. We see you.
